Daisuke Sasaki’s New Pet, Team Drift Goodbye Series, Heaven Summit Begins

April 26, 2016

DDT “YOKOHAMA TWILIGHT 2016 ~SPRING~”, 29/04/2016
Yokohama Radiant Hall

0. King Of Dark Title: Gota Ihashi (c) Vs Rekka
1. Sanshiro Takagi, Kazuki Hirata & Guanchulo Vs KENSO, Hiroshi Fukuda & Eddie French

6. Daisuke Sasaki & Daisuke Sasaki’s New Pet Vs Yukio Sakaguchi & Masa Takanashi

The new KO-D Openweight Champion has a busy schedule ahead of him. Daisuke Sasaki now has two championships to defend and his “pet” Shuji Ishikawa won’t be there to protect him all the time. To remedy this Sasaki got himself a second “pet” to guard him from the other Right To Challenge Contract holders. All Sasaki has said about his new pet is it’s cute and he thinks it’s male. He’s unsure if he will obtain any more pets after this one because he’s running out of space in his home.

After three years and nine months as a unit, Team Drift have decided to split after their latest failed attempt to chase after a championship. Keisuke Ishii feels that Drift have stagnated as a team. Shigehiro Irie said he now feels lonely after the decision but he has to face reality. Soma Takao thinks he needs to take this chance to grow after he failed to win anything in the Right To Challenge Rumble at “JUDGEMENT 2016”. Their final match as a unit will take place on 29th May but until then they will have a farewell series of matches on DDT shows. Ken Ohka demanded to be inserted into one of Drift’s final matches when he found out about their dissolution. He’s even willing to reform #OhkaEmpire for the occasion.

2. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki & Shuji Ishikawa (c) Vs Akito & Yasu Urano

Smile Squash wants to avenge HARASHIMA by winning the KO-D Tag Team Titles from Sasaki & Ishikawa. They are on a roll and take credit for Team Drift disbanding. They also believe to know the champions’ weakness. Although Sasaki & Ishikawa are both strong as individuals, their stamina does not match. Smile Squash thinks that Ishikawa’s large size is actually his weakness because he sweats a lot! If they can tire out Ishikawa and leave him in a dehydrated state they can then beat Sasaki and win the titles.

Kota Umeda has been pulled off of this week’s shows due to the earthquake that hit his hometown Kumamoto yesterday. Thankfully none of his friends or family living there are hurt but DDT decided it is a bigger priority for him to keep in contact instead of wrestling this weekend.

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU 2016 IN NAGAOKA ~DRAMATIC DREAM TOCHIO FESTIVAL~”, 17/04/2016

HARASHIMA has a shot at taking the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Title from Kazusada Higuchi before their KO-D Openweight Title Match. Also Kouki Iwasaki will be back from injury so he may not be at 100%.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO X IDOL “SHIBUYA NIGHT DANGER!”, 18/04/2016
SHIBUYA DESEO

1. Yuu Vs Nodoka-oneesan
2. 3 Way Match: Yuka Sakazaki Vs KANNA Vs Azusa Takigawa

Kazuki Hirata has lost every match he’s been in since being chosen as the No. 1 Contender for the DDT Extreme Title.

Heddi French is a French wrestler who has wrestled in IGF and Big Japan in the past. He also fought Yukio Sakaguchi in Hard Hit last year.

DDT “DNA 16”, 11/05/2016
Kitazawa Town Hall

1. KENSO Vs Kouki Iwasaki
2. Kota Umeda Vs Shunma Katsumata

Umeda’s been a bit distant from the rest of DNA ever since he joined Shuten-dōji. A clash with Shunma Katsumata at DNA 15 sets up this match here.

KENSO makes his presence felt in DNA. Iwasaki is there to defend the brand’s honour.

Japan Trip, Grand Illumination, Max Bump, Takeshita Dream Match

March 29, 2016

Heads up everyone, I’m about to go on holiday to Japan for the next two weeks. Bad news is I won’t be able to update the blog until maybe the 3rd week of April. The good news is I’ll be going to see Saitama Slam at Kasukabe Hall on the 2nd. I’ll hopefully have a good report written up for that show and my experience of it.

Tokyo Korakuen Hall

2. KO-D Openweight Title: HARASHIMA (c) Vs Kazusada Higuchi

The New Gen Combo were granted a rematch for the KO-D Tag Team Titles.

The current Right To Challenge contract holders are Toru Owashi, Tomomitsu Matsunaga, Danshoku Dino, Antonio Honda and Saki Akai.

Ohka Desires Title, Sasaki Desires Candice, Sasadango Desires Not Losing

March 24, 2016

DDT “DRAMATIC 2016 MARCH SPECIAL”, 26/03/2016
Shinjuku FACE

1. Sanshiro Takagi & Toru Owashi Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Gota Ihashi
2. Super Sasadango Machine & Mizuki Watase Vs Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao
3. Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo Vs Hoshitango & Guanchulo
4. Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Battle Royal: Danshoku Dino Vs Keisuke Ishii Vs Saki Akai Vs Antonio Honda Vs Makoto Oishi Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Yasu Urano Vs Akito Vs Hiroshi Fukuda
5. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Kazusada Higuchi, Shunma Katsumata & Kouki Iwasaki (c) Vs Yukio Sakaguchi, Masa Takanashi & Kota Umeda
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki (c) & Shuji Ishikawa Vs Joey Ryan & Candice LeRae
7. KO-D Openweight Title: HARASHIMA (c) Vs Ken Ohka
*Ken Ohka will cash in in Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract.

The first Right To Challenge Contract is already being cashed in. Ken Ohka is wasting no time and wants to fight HARASHIMA for the KO-D Openweight Title this Saturday. Ohka is not giving HARASHIMA any time to recover from Sumo Hall while he himself got through the show without a scratch. He knows HARASHIMA isn’t 100% and probably has an injured knee or foot from his match with Isami Kodaka. He has all the respect in the world for the champion and they have a strong bond after their match with Hiroshi Tanahashi & Yohei Komatsu last year. But his desire to win the KO-D Title again is even stronger.

Daisuke Sasaki nominated The World’s Cutest Tag Team as the No. 1 Contenders for the KO-D Tag Team Titles. He wants revenge on Candice LeRae for turning down his marriage proposal just to get engaged to someone else afterwards. Sasaki admits he’s thinking with his crotch instead of his head. He even wants to fight LeRae’s fiancée Johnny Gargano! Amon Tsurumi is allowing the title match to happen due to Sasaki’s insistence but did point out the former champions Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo also want a title rematch.

Turns out there is one more Right To Challenge Contract up for grabs.

In an odd turn of events Super Sasadango Machine wanted to vacate the DDT Extreme Title and reward it to Antonio Honda. Tsurumi asked why and he said he wanted to give the belt to Honda as a lifetime achievement award. His request was refused so he asked if he could lend the belt to Honda instead. When that was turned down he admitted he didn’t want to defend the title until the 20th Anniversary show in Saitama Super Arena next year. Then he admitted he would rather give the belt to Honda instead of losing it to him.

DDT “TENNOJI WRESTLING ZOO! 2016”, 27/03/2016

1. Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi Vs Joey Ryan & Candice LeRae
